>>Does MythTV record the whole show and then just skip commercials while it's playing it back, or
>>does it cut commercials entirely out of the file?
neither. it *tries* to recognize where they are (no, it's not 100% accurate, and far from it last itme i tried) and marks the points where they are. you can then choose to use these points to skip whatever's inbetween them, or to later transcode the file - either to just remove the stuff inbetween the marked points but leave the rest of the file alone, or to compress the original recording and use it outside of mythtv.
personally i just edit the stuff myself...
surely he can only have been cheating if he knew what he was doing was cheating? as far as he was concerned, he was complying with the rules of the game, using a keyboard advertised by blizzard themselves - something i'm sure there's many people out there doing at the moment.
i'm all for banning people who knowingly break the law, but how can he have done this if he didn't know. and there's also the matter of blizzard cheating their own customers out of 300+ euros and violating their own TOS to ban them after a single mistake.

i thought it'd already been changed to "In Soviet America" myself...
check about:config, there's a setting in there where you can change the min. size of a tab. i forget what it is and where i found it, but it's there.
